Federal law enforcement officers conducting removals of illegal immigrants in the Chicago area will be required to wear body cameras during those operations, a U.S. District Judge ordered on Oct. 16.
The order was issued as part of an ongoing civil action against the Department of Homeland Security, brought by protesters and journalists who have followed federal officers in the Chicago area to either protest against their immigration actions or report on them, respectively. Previously, on Oct. 9, the presiding judge in the case issued a Temporary Restraining Order that enjoined the officers from issuing dispersal orders, using riot control equipment, or using force against protesters who are not posing a physical threat to the officers.
